Etsy Finds Vintage: A Place For Trinkets

If you're anything like me, you've got a dresser covered with jewelry in complete disarray. What can I say? Looking at Etsy all day, it's very easy to be swayed into buying those beautiful earrings from the front page, that amazing one of a kind ring or the bangle with butterfly wings inside.

Once acquired, my main prerogative is keeping all of my baubles organized and out of sight. (Until I put them on, of course!) These vintage jewelry boxes will keep all of your trinkets safe and sound while providing an admirably chic exterior.

This adorable egg is the perfect case to keep that sentimental piece of bling. "Think of me," indeed! At brownbagvintage, $8.
